Car sales in Sweden: questions and answers

What is the best-selling car in Sweden?

In July 2025 it was the Volvo XC60, with 814 new registrations, ahead of the Skoda Kodiaq (565) and the Volvo EX/XC40 (487). Over the year so far, the model with the most registrations is the Volvo XC60.

How many new cars in Sweden are electric?

34.9% of the new passenger cars registered in July 2025 were fully electric (6,172 of 17,684). From January to July the share was 35.2%. Plug-in hybrids, which also have a petrol or diesel engine, are counted separately.

Why are there so many Volvos in Sweden?

Volvo Cars was founded in Gothenburg in 1927, still has its head office and a large factory there, at Torslanda, and has been the biggest car brand in Sweden for decades. In July 2025, Volvo had 15.3% of all new registrations. Company cars matter too: most new cars in Sweden are registered by businesses, and Volvo is strong in the company car market.

Where do these figures come from?

From Mobility Sweden, the trade association of the car makers and importers in Sweden, which publishes the new registrations of every month from the national vehicle register. A registration is the day a new car gets its Swedish number plate, which is close to, but not the same as, the day it was sold.

When are new figures published?

On the first working day of each month, for the month before, usually in the morning, Swedish time. This page updates by itself when they are out.
